Books : The Contented Baby's First Year: A Month-by-month Guide to Your Baby's Development .
Rating: 
- Great month by month guide
This is a beautiful book - both in terms of style and content. It goes through your baby's first year month by month with what to expect, tips for games, sleeping and eating - each chapter with lovely pictures.
I thought this book was brilliant - no matter whether you are into routines or not, it's an invaluable guide.
Rating: - Really Useful Book
This is a great book. It is very well laid out with clear sections for each month. This is unlike some baby books which are full of dense text to wade through.
This book has some gorgeous pictures to complement each section and really useful info about all aspects of baby care. I wish I had read it before I gave birth but will certainly find it useful for months 6-12 of my baby's life.
Even if you are not interested in CLB routines or routines at all you should buy this book as it mentions routines but really only peripherally- it is much more than another Gina Ford routine book.
It's also a lovely book to have out on display.
Definitely buy this book- it has all you need to know set out clearly and doesn't get bogged down with loads of irrelevant details. It's concise and easy to read.
Another great book from Gina Ford!!
Rating: - Highly Recommend
My initial thought on 'The Contented Baby's First Year' was that it would simply be an extension to Gina Ford's 'The Contented Little Baby Book'. But 'The Contented Baby's First Year' is much more than that. It is a detailed and in-depth account of everything related to Baby's first year and it is full of practical and useful advice alongside some absolutely beautiful photography.
When I had my first child I had never even held a baby, let-a-lone cared for a newborn and this book would have been a Godsend. Now, with my second, I can apply all that I learnt the first time around and call on Gina's expert advice in 'The Contented Baby's First Year' to provide the very best for my baby.
If, like me, you are a Gina Ford devote and believe whole-heartedly in her routines, you will not want to miss a single word she has to say. If its your first child and you've never heard of Gina Ford and her wonderful routines, you are, right at this moment, being introduced to the phenomenon which will set you on the path to raising calm and contented little babies! I highly recommend 'The Contented Baby's First Year'.
Rating: - The next book to read after your pregnancy books.
The Contented Baby's first year is a practical and comprehensive guide for parents. Its offers indepth, understandable information on all aspects of your baby's first year. Including: baby handling, feeding, bathing, heath and safety, social awareness and development. It provides essential emotional support for new mothers and stresses how important it is for them to remember to also look after themselves, physically and as a person. It makes known the benefits of implementing a good routine for your baby, but more importantly, gives pointers on how to adjust these routines into 'real'life. It also offers very important advice on times when you should consult your baby's health advisors.
TCBFY gives and indepth overview of the entire first year. This is set out as a month by month guide, each month containing relavant information to your baby's life at that particular stage. Each month is broken down into easily readable subsections and includes easy to follow cross referencing for area previously covered in the book.
TCBFY is a must for first time parents and would be a very helpful reminder for those embarking on parenthood for another time. The information offered is straightforward, thorough and understandable, and includes many useful tips. The books contains so many pertenat information, facts hints and advice which, beause it is all easy to follow and understand, will be easily utilizable for you and your family.
Rating: - Babies DO come with a book of instructions!!
This book is great is you want some guidance/ideas on what to do with your baby in those first months. It is a month by month guide so you can just read what is relevant to you without having to read the whole book (I found it that interesting that I kept reading on!). It has ideas on sleeping and feeding but also on development and appropriate games to play with your baby to meet their needs.
A brilliant accompaniment to the contented little baby series, but also excellent if you just want some simple, clear advice.
